MCR News plus Comic Book Reviews: Captain America #35, Thor #6 and More!

Breaking News: Lead singer of My Chemical Romance, Gerard Way is calling Umbrella Academy his debut comic. BUT, we dug up a comic he published way back when he was in high school called "On Raven's Wings".Mark Millar and John Romita take on real life people getting into superhero suits in Kick-Ass #1. This "real life" superhero even has a MySpace profile. Is this a gimmick or is it a book worth picking up? Find out in this review.Is Thor #6 the Thor we've been waiting for? It's still early on in this series, but we think this book has finally arrived with this issue.Then Captain America #35, continues the great story arc with Bucky as the new Captain America. Justin calls it "an event comic written like a regular comic".In this Speed Round, we check out Good & Evil #1 which actually had some unexpected Biblical overtones, Ex Machina #34, Brave and The Bold #10 which is fun old school comic book action, Abyss #3, and Locke & Key #1 written by Joe Hill, Stephen King's son.In the mailbag: Metamorphic asks about our take on Mini-Series. Do more minis mean less attention to long-running series? Are more minis a good thing?
